Printer fails to mount with the Host Intrusion Prevention 8.0 firewall module enabled
Technical Articles ID:
KB81990
Last Modified: 10/15/2020
Environment
McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention (Host IPS) 8.0
Problem
This issue occurs when you have configured a login script to map and mount user printers. When the user logs on, the script executes and the initial printer mounting via the login script fails. Subsequent attempts to mount the printer succeed.
Cause
When the user logs off, the script is called to disconnect and dismount the printers. As a result, the issue is seen for each user login session.
NOTE: The issue does not occur with the firewall disabled, but still occurs with the following configurations:
Any-any rule
IP spoofing disabled
Unsupported protocols allowed
TrustedSource disabled
Solution
This issue is resolved in Host IPS 8.0 Patch 5.
McAfee Enterprise product software, upgrades, maintenance releases, and documentation are available from the Product Downloads site.
